The biggest backfire will be when the GOP establishment is successful in fighting the Tea Party candidates in the primaries and expect the conservatives will have no option but to vote for GOP during the November election.

That will be when the conservatives stay home or the Tea Party introduces a third pary candidate.

The idiots like Boehner don’t believe this will happen.

Frankly, the only way that I see any GOP Establishment RINO winning any primary race is IF real Conservatives allow that to happen.

It is our DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to see that the Incumbent Establishment Pukes are tossed out of office on their keisters with extreme prejudice.

“The biggest backfire will be when the GOP establishment is successful in fighting the Tea Party candidates in the primaries and expect the conservatives will have no option but to vote for GOP during the November election.”

Your post bears repeating. The dollar figures that are now being reported are definitely going to get the attention of the GOPe. Combine that with your post and you will, albeit belatedly, start to see some questioning of Rove and other political consultants. They should have been purged after the 2012 debacle—but no, they just clenched onto their desk chairs even harder. They have to go.

Exactly right. Bohner, Rove, Cantor, et. al., all are deeply convinced that once the nominating process is completed Conservatives will simply line up and vote for the Republican nominee because they have no where else to go.

1) That millions stayed home rather than vote for Mitt Romney should put that canard to rest.

2) I have never before seen such determination on the part of Conservatives to prove their point in 2014 & 2016 to the GOP-e. What has changed is that the shame of admitting to sitting out an election is now gone if the purpose is to send a message to the GOP-e. The willingness to do so is high, and after 8 years of Obama and a weak Republican opposition, what's to lose now?

3) The fund-raising disparity ought to be the canary in the coal mine for the GOP-e. Bohner, Preibus, McConnell and the other conservative back stabbers need to see the writing on the wall.

It already happened with Mitt.

And there are still %@#$#%@%@$'s on good ol FR calling us unpatriotic traitors because we couldn't and wouldn't violate our principles and vote for a career long flaming liberal who suddenly claimed to miraculously have turned conservative overnight.

&#^$ them.

I don't think they care. They'd rather lose to dems than to cede power to constitutional conservatives. They've got a real good gig going as the minority party to be paid off for votes.

No! We can’t let the GOPe candidates win the primaries. We will turn out and vote OUR conservatives in! Let the GOPe see how they like it.

The best way to create a third party would be to have a large group of people win election as Rep candidates using Rep money and then “switch” after the swearing in to “TEA”.
